An assigned Project Manager will serve as your internal liaison, providing you with an inside view and ensuring that your requirements are being communicated correctly and timely.
Manufacturing Services
Electronics Manufacturing
Equipped with the latest general and custom manufacturing equipment available on the market, Emerald is capable of handling the most challenging PCB assemblies, with extensive experience serving high-reliability end-markets.
Lean
Manufacturing
Within our lean general and custom manufacturing system, we set up each product for manufacturing in the most ideal process flow for that unique end product. Whether that means PCB x-ray inspection for tight BGA placements or selective soldering of components on a customized pallet, our customer success team will create a specific general or custom manufacturing plan to meet the requirements of your unique product.
Whether your PCB assembly is a simple, 4-layer board with only surface mount assembly (SMT) components and Class 2 requirements or a Class 3, complex 20-layer board with mixed-placement technology and specific thermal requirements, we’re the Electronics Manufacturing Service provider to assemble it for you.

Custom
Capabilities
In response to rapidly changing market conditions and product demands, Emerald offers a wide range of custom manufacturing capabilities, including the ability to produce components fitted to irregular three-dimension housings or to withstand intense vibrations using flex and rigid-flex solutions for printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs).
Assembly Services
For Electronic Manufacturing
Emerald offers a wide range of assembly services tailored to our customers’ unique requirements, supply chain, and distribution specifications.
Emerald’s Surface Mount Technology Department is arranged precisely to react quickly to changing client requirements while still delivering an exceptional quality product. Each line shares the same process flow, equipment and programming software giving us ultimate flexibility when scheduling your product’s assembly.
Emerald’s SMT Department is equipped with the latest manufacturing tools available including DEK Horizon’s Screen Print tools, Juki’s high-speed placement machines, and Mirtec’s laser Automated Optical Inspections. In addition, to help maximize quality efficiencies Cogiscan’s TTC System is supported on all five of our lines.
Due to the majority of SMT defects originating in the printing process, before placing one single component on a PCB, our stencils are verified through a Solder Paste Inspection (SPI) Machine confirming solder coating, thickness, aperture, as well as the printing press and speed. Data recorded on our SPI machines is linked directly to our AOI’s allowing us to quickly investigate and analyze any concerns or failures.
Our high-speed Juki lines can place an average of 66,000 components per hour and support placements as small as 01005. Each pick and place machine is equipped with smart feeders embedded with RFID technology that allow our SMT Team to automatically marry each reel to the appropriate feeder. This technology not only ensures that all of the reels are loaded in the proper location, but also helps to minimize changeover time with a 10-minute, low-level warning system that alerts when a reel needs to be replaced.

Certified to ISO 9001 standards demonstrates that Emerald has implemented an effective quality management system with a strong customer focus.
Automated
Optical Inspection (AOI) Systems
To ensure correct placement of SMT components
-
Automated Optical Inspection (AOI)
Emerald’s expert quality control process ensures that every single SMT component is 100% inspected on an Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) verifying solder quality, part markings, pad placement, and solder joints in order to guarantee quality of all SMT placements. Each AOI shares software and offline programming capabilities, giving us ultimate flexibility to examine your product at every step of the manufacturing process.
-
Automated Functional Test Fixtures
In addition to supporting each of the different types of PCB testing requirements, including functional, in-circuit testing (ICT) and flying probe testing, Emerald also designs, develops and builds automated functional test fixtures with thorough procedural documentation.
-
Component-Level, Circuit Assembly & Fully Assembled Unit Testing
Emerald’s product test development services include component level testing, circuit assembly testing, fully assembled unit testing, or if needed, all three.
-
On-Board-Circuit Programming (for easy updates)
Emerald’s Test Department also supports on-board in-circuit programming, making it much easier to apply any updates to programming software during production. Our team offers the ability to test software updates in-house, providing immediate feedback on any changes to the functionality of circuit board assembly
